Feeding you…Body, Mind and Soul!
When someone walks into one of our stores, we want them to feel like they’re part of our farm, part of the team. We aim to create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, where people can come and enjoy shopping for the foods they love. We care deeply for our customers values and concerns, going to the utmost extent to understand what our customers want.
We’re not simply selling products, but our vision. A vision of fresh, healthy and sustainable food from our farm to their table. To capture the idea, that local is indeed practical and realistic. To bring sustainability and food security to our communities through a renewed sense of trust in the farmers who produce the foods we eat.
We do our best to introduce every customer to what we have to offer, and to our vision. Every customer should see the direct links between our farm, the things that we produce, the hands that made them…all the way through the process, culminating in their preparation and enjoyment of that food. We want every step in the process to be something that they can feel a part of.
